    Like the bright lamp that lay in Kildares holy fane,
    That burned through long ages of darkness and storm.
    To the heart that sorrows have frowned on in vain.
    Whose spirit outlives unfading and warm.
    Erin, oh Erin, thus bright to the tears,
    Of a long night of bondage thy spirit appears.

    Thy sun is but rising when others are set
    And tho' slaverys cloud oer the morning hath hung.
    The full noon of freedom
